NIAGARA Falls Short Lime

In calling your attention to this popu-
lar route by the way of Detroit and Nj
agara Falls to Eastern points and via
Detroit, Hamilton and Toronto to Cana
dian points, it is done to bring the line
more prominently before the public as a
new frst-class line from Chicago to
Eastern and Canadian points. Its
passenger equipment is in every respect
first-class. 1t runs dining cars between
Chicago and Niagara Falls with through
sleeper to New York by the West Shore
route without change, being only one
night in transit; also to Boston via
Hoosac Tunnel route without change.
Owing to its not being as generally
known as it's older competitors, although
not in any way inferior to them in all
that tends to make route desirable,
it offers less rate of S150 to New
York, 81 to Boston and S2.35 to several
of the principal New York state points.
If going East it may be of advantage to
call at the ticket Office where you re-
side and secure a folder, giving a de-
scription of the route, its rate of fare
and map of the route. 1t offers the
lowest fare of any line via Detroit and
Niagara Falls, giving the privilege of
stopping at the falls several hours on q
limited ticket if desired.

The Guilty Can't Escape.

Rochester Record and Union.
We have refrained from any notice of
the desperate effort of the Minnesota
Construction company to swindle the
state out of a million or more dollars,
and Gov. McGill's alleged participation
in the scheme, in the hope that the cir
cumstances might be susceptible of ex-
PLANTATION. Bowen's letter, however,
puts an end to such anticipation, and
places us face to face with the damning
fact that Gov. McGill was fully aware Of
the forgery, and knowingly and deliber-
ately gave his official sanction
and approval of the fraud. 1t is
bad for the people when the gov
ernor Ola commonwealth joins
hands with the great monopoly to rob
the state of its just dues by classifying
Legislative enactments. The bill as it
Stands is undoubtedly unconstitutional,
and will be SO decided, but the fact that
the state will escape serious loss does
not relieve the parties who are guilty of
this shameless fraud, or the governor
who has lent himself to carry out their
nefariOuS schemes.

THE FORESTRY CONGRESS.
Opening Of the Sixth Annual Con-
ventiOn at SDrin pfield. M

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Sept. f5.-The
sixth annual meeting of the American
Forestry congress opened yesterday and
will continue its session three days.
Delegates are in attendance from nearly
all the states and territories, the pro-
yinces of Canada and the states of Mex
leo. Among the practical subjects
which have been suggested for con-
siderati0n are the necessity of change
of policy on the part of the general
government in regard to it's timber do
main; the effects and results of forest
legislation in the different states; the
status of artificial forest planting in the
prairie states and methods of charging
the effectiveness of the work of the for
eStry congress. Several states have al
ready taken legislative action on the
subject. The forest area of the country
is now stated to be 10000, 900 acres and
the annual timber consumption 10000
100000 cubic feet. Apart from this ex-
haustive destruction of timber lands an
unfavorable accompanying influence is
also eXerted upon the rainfall, water
supplies and soil conditions, calling for
the most serious and prompt attention
of the government.

THE EX-CoNFEDERATES.S
They Hold a Successful Reunion
a at Mexico, Mo.


q at Mexico, Mo.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 15.-The ex-Confeder-
ate reunion at Mexico, Mo-, was at
tended by large number of. soldiers
yesterday who represented either side
of the conflict. About 10000 people
gathered in the little city and over
flowed its corporate limits, but accepted
of its bountiful hospitality. A grand
parade, with veterans of the successful
side on the right of the line, societies
and militia following, and an army of
'Johnnies' bringing up the real, opened
the exercises Of the day. Banners of
the president were Haunted to the breeze
on the side streets, but on the line of
march these were conspicuously alb
sent. In a grove at thenOrth of the CITY
100 cattle had been barbecued, land when
the procession broke ranks the meal
was served to visitors. In the after
noon oratiOns were delivered by. prom
inent politicians, who found words of
praise for both sides and a cause to fight
for worthy of either. Gen. w. @. p:
Breckenridge, of Lexington, KY,
seemed to strike the key note when he
declared himself an unreconstructed
rebel. All the speeches were tempered
to suit the Representatives of both sides.
The reunion will close to-day.

Dewey and House File 1877.

Graceyille Transcript.
The Wheaton Gazette Of Sept. 2
worked up quite romance on A.Dewey
in connection with House File 157. AS
we understand the situation, Congress-
man Wilson charged that certain words
had been interpOlated in the bill re-
ferred to, changing the intent of the
act, and causing large loss in taxes to
the state. The whole matter is evil
IDENTIFY an attempt to charge corruption
on the present state officials. So far
the only fact developed is that the al
legged Interpolation was not an interpo-
lation, but in the bill on it's final pas
sage. The bill was introduced for the
relief of settlers on railroad lands, and
after the word "SettlerS" the words
s'and others" were introduced. We
would ask Mr.. Belyea, of the Grant
County Herald, why Senators Bowen,
Buchanan and Hixson opposed the
bill in its final passage through
the, senate if there were no
attached? Was it not from the same
cause that Donnelly and twenty others
opposed its passage in the house? To
Cap the climax the editor of the Grant
County Herald, who was engaged in the
senate enrolling room at the time, says:
1T also seems to be pretty definitely
settled that forgery was committed while
the bill was in the custody of the enroll
ing clerk of the senate, A. Dewey,
though there is nothing in evidence to
show that it was done with his conniv-
ance or consent" Both the editors of
the Gazette and Herald, if they know
anything, know that the house has its
enrolling clerk as the senate has it's
enrolling clerk, and that all bills origi-
mating in the senate are enrolled by its
own clerk, as all bills originating in the
house are alone enrolled by its own en-
rolling clerk. Both these men know
that A. Dewey, senate enrolling clerk,
could not by any process get house
bill into his hands, could not even see it,
let alone having it in his possession for

AT SUNSET.

Creep closer, dear, and nestle down,
Beside me with your hand in mine,
While sunset sets cleaning crown
Upon the mountains locks of pine.
So hand in hand and heart in heart
Wen watch the summer day depart.
How dear the day whose hours are filed
With love, as honey brins the rose -
Sweet drops of life's rare wine are spilled
By every gentle breeze that blows.
We shall not miss them-let the bee
Find and feast on them royalty.
This day, because love made it sweet,
Has seemed poem such as men
Would give their lives to write repIete
With charms eluding poets pen;
A wordless poem that shall be
Immortal in our memory.
The sunsets glory fades away;
The valley fills with silver mist;
Farewell, most dear and perfect day:
Love, lift your red lips to be kissed.
And think though dies the summer day.
The love 1t brought US lives for aye.

A WAVE OF INDIGNATION.
The Minnesota Editors Talk Pretty

u Him of His Fate.
Want Honest Governments.

,Owatonna Press.
4. Elsewhere we publish the reply of
1gudge Wilson to the letters OF Attorney
General Hahn, Gordon E. Cole and to
1.-THE published defense made by Gov.
lsMcGill. This defrauding of the state is
"a serious matter which should be thor
0ughly ventilated. Republicans and
democrats alike are interested in
having all parties exposed who
3haye contributed directly or indi-
Pfectly in having this commonwealth
idefrauded. What the people desire
above everything else is honest govern
ment and they will set down heavily on
'all tools and representatives of dis
honest corporations. Judge Wilson has
already done good service to the people
by calling their attention to this great
public wrong, and we are one of those
who believe that some day the people
will reward his good work and zeal on
their behalf in a substantial manner.
The Aroused Indignant Public.
Preston Times.
AS far as the governor is concerned,
however, we look upon it as wholly inn
material whether the bill was or was
not changed after passing both houses.
1t required his signature to make it a
law; this he attached and "haS no
apologies to Offer" Now we cannot
understand land we think large
portion of the people of the state are
in the same fix) why the lands of this
or any other railroad corporation
should be exempted from taxation
Mr.. Skinner, attorney for the company
in question, says that the enforcement
of the tax would amount to confisca-
ton of the land; that it was not worth
any more than the taxes amount to.
Surprising it did amount to confisca
ton. Could not the state take the lands
back and resell them? Is it any worse
to cOntiscate the property of wealthy
corporation, when it does not fulfill the
requirements of the law, than it is to
take the homestead of the farmer or the
WOrkingman?
The people of the state are in humor
to hold their servants to strict &C
countability, and while they demand no
oppression or injustice to our moneyed
institutions, they will tolerate no par
TALLY or fayoritism. In our opinion it
will take great deal more evidence
than has so far been offered to secure a
verdict of acquittal at the hands of an
aroused and indignant public.

Land in London.

~
The growing value of property in Lon
don is strikingly illustrated i'm the nego-
tiations now going on in Lambeth on the
subject of a, park for Vauxhall. The
promoters of this project speak cheer
fully of s47, 500 as the reduced price"
for property of between eight and nine
acres. 1t is not surprising that some of
the inhabitants of the district. not. un-
favorable to the preservation Of open
spaces, should pause before this project,
and should be asking, as some of them
have done, whether the ratepayers are
not being invited to pay too dear for
their whistle. Nearly $4,000 an acre is
very large price, and if it be the case
that one or more of the vestrymen who
are to decide the question of purchase
are interested in the sale, the. question
of value ought, as amatter Of principle,
to be decided with special care by i'm
partial inquiry. The matter is for local
decision, but under our present system
of metropolitan governments the rate
payers must see for themselves that
their interests are properly secured.

it is composed of work superior in quail

long had the reputation of selling work
of the finest quality, but it has been the
general impression that our prices were
high.
A comparison of prices with other
work shown in competition will show
that such is not the case, and that in
